Diana Neemeyer was born August 4, 1947, in Sidney, Nebraska, to Kenneth Sr. and Mae Lois (Welton) Gipfert. She graduated from Sidney High School in 1965, and moved to Columbus with some friend to find work. Over the next few years, Diana worked at B-D Medical, Behlen Manufacturing, and Dale Electronics. She met Fred Neemeyer at Columbus Bowl and the two were united in marriage on June 15, 1968, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Columbus.

In 1985, Fred and Diana purchased their first rental property. Over the years, Fred and Diana purchased more rental property, which she still operates today. Diana was a faithful member of Trinity Lutheran Church where she volunteered her time in several ways; funeral coordinator, meals on wheels, driver for those in need of transportation, and REACH to name a few. For four years, she held the position of manager of 7-11. She enjoyed her gardening, flowers, fishing, birds, and family trips to Canada. After Fred's retirement, she loved traveling the United States, but most important was spending time with her family and grandchildren.

Miss Me – But Let Me Go

When I come to the end of the road,
And the sun has set for me,
I don't want sadness in a gloom filled room,
Why cry for a soul set free.

Miss me a little, but not too long,
And not with your head bowed low,
Remember the love we once shared,
Miss me – but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take,
And each must go alone.
It's all a part of the Master's plan,
A step on the road to Home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to friends we know.
Bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,
Miss me – but let me go.
